SOME TIPS

To solve the questions easily which are related to statement and assumptions some tips are given below-
Assumption is based on the statement. Don't go far from the statement.

  • The meaning of assumption is not opposite to the meaning of statement.
  • Advice is considered because the adviser gives you advice only when you take his/her 
  • advice.
  • Generally negative information is considered.
  • Some words like 'only', 'one and only' etc. added to assumption to make it 'particularise' 
  • then you should never consider that assumption.
  • If in assumption something is told about the past or future then such assumptions are not 
  • considered.
  • If an assumption is restatement of the statement then such assumption is not considered.

Statement-"If you want to get the best treatment for coronary diseases you must approach hospitaI2"-A tells B.
Assumptions- I. B may be heart patient.
II. B generally listens to A.
III. A may have enough information about the hospital facilities.
Answer with Explanation - B must be the heart patient so A is telling him about the hospital.
B believes fully on A, that is why A is telling to B. Thirdly A must have enough information about
the hospital, so he is advising to B about that hospital. Hence, all the three assumptions are
implicit.
